Alex goes to Naju, it becomes popular.
Not but three minutes after I sent a heads-up to A Food Journey in Korea about an article in the Korea Herald about popular food dishes in Naju, the smallest of Jeollanam-do's five cities. Then I come across a nice article on Naju's tourist sites in the Korea Times. In the past I've made numerous jokes about how boring Naju is, but really it's not so bad if you don't mind smaller cities. It has a bunch of interesting historical sites, there's a world-famous statue of the Virgin Mary that weeps blood, and the Jungheung Gold Spa waterpark looks like it kicks a fair amount of ass. Just skip the bungee jumping.
